MEAN S FOR CONTBOLLIG DISCHARGE FROM HYDRAULIC MOTORS.

Application glled. lay 24, 1910. Serial No. 563,140.

To all whom t may concern: p

Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. DoBLE, a citizen of the United States, and resldent of San Francisco, county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented certain new and us eful Improvements in Means for Controllin the Dischar e from Hydraulic Motors, of which thefo lowing 1s a specification.

This invention relates to hydraulic motors and particularly to mechanism for controlling the discharge of water from the motor.

In the operation of hydraulic motors, 1t often happens that the Water will back up in the tailrace and draft tube so as to mterfere with the operation of the motor. This is especially true in times of flood. In order to overcome this, the practice heretofore has been to locate the motor high enough so that the draft tube effect will be great enough to prevent this interference. This obviously however prevents the available headA from being fully utilized at all times.

One of the objects of this invention is to provide means whereby the discharged water can be controlled so that interference of the back water with the motor is prevented, thus allowing the available head to be fully utilized at all times.

Another object of this invention is to provide means whereby the vacuum of the motor may be regulated.

Further objects will appear from the detail description.

The invention will be described in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a section through a power unit; Fig. 2 is an enlarged section showing the regulating device for t-he motor; Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3, Fig. 2. the nozzle for I they regulating device being omitted and the regulating device being itself Shown in elevation; Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view; Fig. 5 is a section showing another form of regulating device; Figs. 6 and 7 are detail sectional views showing the nozzle for the regulating device of Fig. 5;

Fig. 8 is a section on the line 8 8, Fig. 7; Figs. 9 to 13 inclusive are sectional views showing dii'erent forms of this invention; Fig. 14 is a section through a servo motor;

and Fig. 15 is a section through a regulating valve for the air inletof the motor casing.

Referring to the drawings 'and more particularly to Figs. 1 to 4 inclusive, 20 designates a rotor of a hydraulic motor, the motor inthis case being of the impact type although the invention is not necessarily limited to this particular type. The motor is provided with an inclosing casin 21. A number of nozzles 22 are provide .for directing jets of water a ainst the rotor, and these nozzles are contro led by needle valves 23, which are re ulated through suitable levers and links fiom a hand wheel 24 or a governor, or both. The water from the wheel is discharged into a draft tube 25, and into a tailrace 26. A supplemental nozzle 27 is controlled by a needle valve 28, which is interconnected with the Valves 23,

by means of link connections 29. The nozzle v 2,? is arranged vertically as shown, and discharges into a conduit 30, which has connected to it a pipe 31 which discharges into the tailrace 26. The main and supplemental nozzles are connected to a main sup- Patented May '7, A1912.

ply pipe 32, which is controlled by a suitable gate valve 33. The main and supple mental nozzles as to details may he of the construction shown in my prior Patent No. 941,440, in which the function of the sup-I plemental nozzle has been fully described.

A' regulating device 34 is located in the draft tube, and is provided with a nozzle 35 which is connected with the main and supplemental nozzles to the main supply pipe 32. The regulating device is shown in detail in Figs. 2, 3 and 4. It comprises a seriesV of annular rings 36, which are curved incross section, and nested together so as to form a vertical cone which tapers from the top toward the bottom. rings with exception of the upper one. provided with a series of ribs 37, provided with feet 38 which engage the ring located above it. These ribs form spacing members to space and support the rings in position. as shown in Fig. 4. The rings arecurved as shown, and the diameter at the lower end is smaller than the diameter at the upper end as shown in Fig. 4, so that the rines may easily be placed in position. By means of the above construction, the rings can be easily assembled. These rings are preferably cast and have the ribs 37 cast integral therewith, so that each ring rests upon the ribs formed on the one located beneath it. Itis not absolutely necessary that a fastening means be provided to secure the rings in position, since the construction 1s such that the rings will be firml held in place, but for further security may be passedthrough the feet 38 and into the rings.

The Vnozzle 35 is provided with a discharge end 39 which is preferably conical as shown, and this discharge end is controlled by a conical valve or core piece 40, composed of sections 41 and 42 bolted together by a bolt -43. The stem 44 is provided `with an enlarged shank 44a which passes through the stuffing box By means of this construction, the valve may be partially or wholly balancedl by the enlarged shank. The nozzle body is provided with a bracket 46 in which is pivotally mounted a bell crank lever 47 connected to theshank 44al by means of a link, and to a hand wheel 48 by means of a threaded link 49. The hand wheel is located outside of the casing as shown, so that the valve and the discharge from the nozzle may be closely regulated.

The nozzle 35 will direct an annular conical sheet or stream of water against the inside surface of the rings and this water will flow downwardly into the tailrace. The action of the stream is, first to forcibly carry the water discharged from the wheel through the draft tube and into the tailrace so as to force the water out of the tailrace and thus prevent backing up of the back water; and second, this stream of water in fiowing past the inside surface of the cones will cause a .'acuum to be created in the draft tube and the motor casing so as to facilitate the discharge of the water, and enable the wheel to run with high efiiciency. It is of course well known to those skilled in the art, that it is advantageous to maintain a vacuum in the motor casing. By means of the above construction, the backing up of the water during ilood'periods will be prevented so that the available head can at all times be a maximum. The stream of water from the nozzle 35 will accelerate the water fiowing through thedraft tube,

so that the body of water will be setin motion and discharge into the tailrace, even though the water in the tailrace may be higher than the motor. By means of the hand wheel 49 the height of the water lin the 4draft tube and the vacuum in the motor astenings.

45() which has a conical shaped face 51.

of the areas of the spaces between the rings is equal to the area of the openingof the draft tube'so that th'e velocity through the whole system or passageway may be the same in case the nozzle 35 is closed and gravity alone relied upon to carry off the water. Such will be the case when the water does not back up objectionably high in the motor casing.`

ln Figs. 5 to 8 inclusive, is shown a modi fied form in which a multiple jet nozzle is used to direct the water against the inside surface of the rings. 4 The form of the nozzle shown is not herein specifically claimed, it being made the subject of another application No. 563,141, lfiled May 24, 1910. The nozzle 35 is provided with a discharge end A series of axially movable rings or annular members 53 and 58 are located in the discharge end, ring 53 being connected to a ring 54 by means of a series of ribs 55 andA the ring 54 engages with a series of stops 52 on the discharge end of the nozzle body. A second annular member 58 is connected to a ring 59 by means of a series of ribs 60 which engage a series of stops 56 on the annular member 53. A core piece 62 provided with an enlarged head 63 is located .Centrally of the nozzle. rl`he annular members 53 and 58 are conical in form as shown, and provided with faces 57 and 61 respectively. In Fig. 6, the nozzle is shown in closed position, the core piece being drawn up so that the rings are moved upwardly to entirely close the ports of the nozzle. If

Ynow, the core piece 62 is operated so as to move downwardly, the port between the end 50 and the annular member 53 will be opened so as to discharge an annular stream of water against the rings 36. But the ports between the annular members 53, 58 and the core piece 63 remain closed, but as the core piece moves downwardly the ring 54 will be stopped by the stops 52, so that on further downward movement of the core piece, the port between the annular members 53 and 58 is opened. It will thus be seen that by moving the core piece down wardly the other ports will be successively thrown into operation. Similarly when the nozzle is closed by moving the core piece upwardly the ports are successively closed in inverse order. By means of this construction, it is found that the discharge of water can be more effectively controlled especially where the pressure is high.

The motor casing is preferably provided with an air inlet 64 connected by pipe 65 to an air valve 66, this air valve 66 having an outlet to the atmosphere by means of a pipe 67. The valve stem 68 is controlled by a fioat 69 located in a fioat chamber 70, which is connected to a pipe 71, extending into the tailrace. The valve is shown in detail in Fig. 15, and' comprises a cylinder provided with a piston 72 Working' on a` valve seat 73, and against a stop4 74.

As the vacuum in the motor casing and the draft tube increases, that is as the pressure of the air drops, and as the height of the Water in the .tailrace rises, the water will also rise in the draft tube, and interference with the motor will result, provided the regulating device 34 is not provided. As the height of the water in the tailrace increases the water will also rise in the pipe 71 and the ioat chamber 70, causing the oat 69 to rise and the valve 72 to open so as to connect the pipe to the air inlet 64 with the outside air, thus increasing the pressure inside of the motor casing, and causing the height of the wa-v ter in the draft tube to drop. The stop 74 is provided so as to limit the lowest movement of the valve and the float. It will be understood that this vacuum controlling device may be uesd independently of the regulating device 34.

There is a great advantage in extending the pipe 71 into the tailrace so as to regulate the vacuum by the true height of the Water in the tailrace. 'The water in the draft tube will be in a very agitated condition, and therefore if the oat chamber were connected with the draft tube directly the true height of the water in-,the draft tube would not be indicated in the float chamber, due to the agitated condition. But by connecting the oat chamber with a portion of the discharge conduit, where the water is comparatively quiet as in the tailrace, the parts can be so constructedthat the true height of the water in the draft tube will always be correctly indicated.

In Figs. 9 to 12 inclusive, various arrangements have been shownk In this case, the flo-at chamber 70 is for simplicitys sake connected directly to the draft tube but it will be understood that in ordinary operation it /is preferable to connect the float chamber with, the tailrace as shown in Fig. 1.

In Fig. 9, the nozzle 35 is controlled automatically by the height of the water in the draft tube. For this purposef the link 49 which is operatively connected with the valve 4() is connected' to a bell crank lever which is connected by a suitable link to thestem 68 of the float 69. In this construction, if the water in the draft tube rises above a predetermined level, the float 69 will be operated to open the nozzle 35 so as to force the water through the draft tube and prevent backing up of the water as previously described. It will thus be seen that means are provided for automatically controlling the height of the water in the draft tube and that this means is brought into operation by the height ofthe water in the water in the draft tube will be in an agitated condition but this may be compensated for in the construction shown in Fig. 9, by providing a suitable dash pot 76, which will dampenthe vibration. It will be u nderstood that this dash pot may also be provided for the stem of the lloat 69 in Fig. l.

In Fig. 10, the nozzle valve 40 is o erated by means of=a servo motor 77. his

servo motor is shown in detail in Fig. 14.v

This motor comprises a cylinder in which works a piston 78 provided with'ports 79. The 'piston 78 is bored to form a cylinder for a valve piston 81, andis further provided with a stop or head 80. The valve piston 81 is provided with a cylindrical extension which fits a hole or port 83 bored in the link or rod 49, the rod 49 Working in a stuffing box as shown. The Vpiston valve 8l is provided with a valve rod 84 which extends through a stuffing box in draft tube. s previously pointed out, the

the head 86, and is connected by a link to the bell crank lever- 75. The water is supplied to the moto-r by' means of a pipe 87, and the rod 49 is bored as shown, at 88', and provided with discharge opening 89.

The operation is as follows: The bell crank lever 75 being operatively connected to the lio-at 69 if the level of the water in the draft tube rises above a predetermined level, the Boat will be raised so as t0 nove the piston valve-81 downward, Fig. 14. This will open the ports 79 to the pipe 87, so as to allow the Water to flow in the rearward part of the cylinder. Since the area of the rear face of the pist-on 7 8 is valve 81 upward causing the cylindrical extension to move out of the port 83, so as to open the port 83 and the interior of the rod 49 to the rear end of the piston causing the pressure on that side to be relieved and causing the piston 78 to be moved upward so as to again close the valve 40. In this case, also as soon as' t-he piston is moveda predetermined amount upward the port 83 will be automatically closed. The water is discharged into the draft tube through the hole 89. It will thus be seen that this construction enables the height of the water in the draft tube to be automatically greaterV than the front face, the piston 78 lost motion connection' between the stem 68 and the bell crank lever 75.

In operation, if the Water in the draft tube rises above a predetermined level, the float operates to open the valve 72 so as to connect the motor casing pipe 65 with the atmosphere. The pressure in the 'motor casing is thus increased. If however, this increase of pressure is insuiiicient and the Water still rises, then the tappet 92 will engage the arm 91 of the bell crank lever 75 soy as to set the servo motor 77 in operation. to open the nozzle -The servo motor may be thrown out of operation by moving the tappet 92 down on the stem 68 so that it will not strike the bell crank lever 91.' This may be convenient where the servo Amotor is out of repair. n

In the construction shown in Fig. 12, the stem 68 is mounted upon a two armed lever 94:, which is connected to the arm 98 of the bell crank lever 75 by a link 95. The outer end of the arm 93 has mounted upon it a .weight 96. The other end of the lever 94 is I the head of the casing 66.

connected to the stem 68al of the valve 72, the stem extending through the stuffing box in the upper end of the valve casing 66.4

The lever 94 has mounted upon ita ring 98 which is arranged to be engaged by a hook 97, pivotally connected to the valve casing 66. Ifthe hook 97 is disengaged so as to leave the left hand arm of the lever 94 free and the water in the draft tube rises to a. predetermined level, the float 69 will be raised. Due to the fact that the right hand end of the lever is' weighted by means of the weight 96, the lever will swing on its right hand pivotal connection and the link 95 as an axis, so as to cause the valve piston 72 to open communication between the motor casing pipe 65 and the atmosphere. If this is insuilicient to reduce the level of the water in the draft tube. the float will continue to rise until the valve' 72 is stopped by A further movement of the float 69 will now cause the lever 94 to swing about its left hand pivotal conmotor 77 may be dispensed with and a direct connection made between the bell crank lever 75 andthe rod 49 as in the construction shown in Fig. 9. Furthermore a dash pot connection may be made between the bell crank lever 75 and the rod 49 in which case, the dash pot will take the place of the servo motor 77. In both constructions, the successive operations of the air valve and the nozzle 35 is accomplished by a lost motion connection between the operating mechanism and one of said controlling mechanlsms.

In Fig. 13, the float chamber 70 is shown as connected to the tailrace as in Fig. 1. It will be understood that in both cases, a suitable strainer will be located at the lower part of pipe 71. The construction of the controlling mechanisms is otherwise substantially the same as shown in Fig. 12.

It is obvious that various changes may be made -in the details of construction without departing from this invention, and it is, therefore, to be understood that this invention is not to be limited to the speciiic construction shown and described.
